Dell Inspiron 13 :: On-Screen Keyboard Will Not Popup Whenever Activate Text Insert Area

Dec 26, 2014

I seem to have trouble with my on-screen keyboard when using the Dell Inspiron in tablet mode. Supposedly the on-screen keyboard will pop-up whenever I activate a text-insert area (such as search, or firefox, or IE, or etc) but there is no response.

In addition, I should be able to toggle it on/off through "settings" by swiping right but the keyboard icon is not available in settings when I swipe right. I *can* turn it on by going through..

Settings --> Ease of access --> Keyboard on

Though technically it shouldn't require those extra steps and I don't know why it isn't popping up on it's own. Also unsure why I can't find the icon in settings.

This laptop is brand new so I didn't change anything on it yet....

Lenovo X / Helix Tablet :: End / Insert Keys Swapped On Keyboard

May 17, 2013

On the keyboard, the "End/Insert" key is labeled such that it looks like End should be the default behavior. ("End" is printed in the same size type as "Home" on the neighboring key, with "Insert" in smaller type.) I would expect that key to be the End key, and that with Fn held down it would become Insert.
 
In fact, the opposite is true--Insert is the default behavior, and I have to hold down Fn to get End. This seems like a mistake, since it's not consistent with the labels, and in any event it's very inconvenient--I use the End key a lot, and Insert almost never.
 
I have swapped my Fn and Ctrl keys in the BIOS, if that makes a difference.

Dell Inspiron 77R :: Update BIOS Based On Popup Notice?

Apr 19, 2013

I received a brief pop-up notice that there was an important BIOS upgrade for my Inspiron 7720 and then when I went out to the Dell Support Link there is a one paragraph stating that there is a critical new BIOS update.  I had hope to read more about the update and what it required but there was nothing.  So I clicked on the link, this launched a download of a file - 7720A13.exe and nothing else. 

How am I to distinguish this file from a SPAMMER sending me a file?

Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 :: System Get Heating Up Around Touchpad Area

Apr 9, 2013

I have purchased Dell Inspiron 15R 5520  i7 few months back. It is working fine, I now I fell that my system gets heated up a lot early and too much. Particularly, around the touchpad area. I have also noticed that regardless of the heating up, the cooling fan runs so slow. I assume, it should speed up when the system is getting hotter, but it does not.

Dell :: Inspiron 1545 Text Formatting ...

Apr 22, 2009

I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 1545. When I type, it will open windows (such as a find menu, replace menu, or even a new document) or reformat my text (hanging indents, etc.) out of the blue.

It acts as if the control key is being pressed, but I am very careful not to hit it. At first we thought it was a sticky key, but replacing the keyboard did not fix the problem.

We reinstalled all the drivers, ran diagnostics, etc., but none of it did any good. Dell support said they had never heard of this problem. Nothing they suggested helped. Finally we had them send us a replacement.

The second computer arrived yesteday and it does the exact same thing. When I am typing in Microsoft Word, Excel or even Notepad, it erases text (sometimes the entire document), opens random windows, etc.

What is going on? I can't believe that three keyboards in a row would be faulty, but the problem does not happen when I use a wireless keyboard. It has been less than a month since we ordered the computer originally. Is there anything that can be done or should I just return it and look elsewhere?

Dell Inspiron N5110 :: Local Internet Area Disconnecting And Reconnecting

Feb 25, 2013

I had this problem with local internet area disconnecting and reconnecting (one second it shows it is enabled, other ethernet cable is unplugged, and that keeps repeating), which was caused by Ubuntu, I highly suspect.So I updated Bios to A11 and it charmingly fixed everything.

However, problem arose again. I've installed Ubuntu again on dual boot and tried updating Nvidia drivers which did not work well and broke Ubuntu again, which caused this internet problem again on windows 7 somehow (yes, this happened for second time . But this time I can't update Bios, or overwrite it's update).

I did not expect that after bios update this would happen again. I tried downloading various drivers from dell driver support. So, is there a way to overwrite same version of Bios, or (downloading some sort of drivers i might have mist, ect.?)

Dell Inspiron 5520 :: Browser Deactivated When Typing And Have To Activate It Again

Jan 26, 2013

I bought my Inspiron 5520 in the States in July, 2012. The problem that I have now, which is quite annoying really is that when I type in a browser, it becomes deactivated and I have to activate it again in order to continue typing. It happens very often and it's almost impossible to have typed a long message or a document without a browser being deactivated and me having to activate it again and again. Same happens with Word.

Dell Inspiron 15R 5537 :: Activate Bluetooth Using Wireless Switch

Jul 2, 2014

I have this problem of wireless in my 15R 5537. I upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1 recently only to know that wireless driver was incompatible. I then visited the Dell support site and downloaded the wireless driver for the model i'm using and the OS installed. But when I tried to install it I got "Activate Bluetooth using wireless switch" error message.

I didn't know what wireless switch was since (fn+f2) was not working either. I came to know that there is wireless option in bios menu from various posts. But there was none in my laptop under "Advance" option in bios menu. I run bios version A08.

I tried to reinstall old windows 8(with a different CD this time) but wireless didn't work in this one either...

On my old XPS, when the screen turned off, the keyboard backlight would turn off with it automatically. My new Inspiron 17 does not do this, and I can't find anything that seems to control the behavior. Is there a way to do this?

Alternately, is there a software solution to control the keyboard backlight?

HP Pavilion Dv7 OS/Software :: InsydeFlash Random Popup On Computer

Jun 17, 2012

HP Pavilion, think it's a dV7 or some similar name
Windows 7 64-Bit
 
I was away to eat for around half an hour, and I came back to a popup with the title containing 'InsydeFlash'. It seems as though it's a BIOS flashing utility, which I've heard is never good, unless it's official from Windows. I don't remember installing it, and I don't know if it's an official Windows utility. It claims to want to update the BIOS. I cancelled it safely, and it seems to be gone (I ran tasklist on the command line, but found nothing out of the ordinary). My question is, if it appears again, do I run it, or is it probably an attack?

Dell Inspiron 3147 :: Whenever Screen Is Folded Back Into Tablet Mode / Keyboard Will Not Lock

Sep 25, 2014

There is a major issue here with Dell's Touchpad drivers, they simply do not work. Anytime I try to use the Touchpad the mouse goes flying all over the place and is completely useless. Whenever the screen is folded back into tablet mode--they keyboard will not lock.

Have been on phone with Dell for hours on this with no resolve. There are a lot of people complaining about the same thing, Dell doesn't see to understand this.

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X1 Carbon - How To Change Popup / Dropdown Alignment

Jan 12, 2015

With my Lenovo X1 Carbon preinstalled image I noticed strange behaviour of my right click popups from the desktop and some dropdowns from menus. They are aligned to the left, not the right.
 
I.e. I rightclick on the dektop, my cursor is is on the top right corner, not the top left corner.
 
I find this very annoying as every app that doesn't use the windows setting does it th other way around. Also, subitems open to the left. Is there a way to return this to normal. I can't seem find the "switch".

Dell :: Area-51 Alienware Desktop Delayed

Feb 11, 2010

So I ordered my Alienware Area-51 with a bunch of upgrades totaling at something like $5000 on January 22nd. It has been in the "In Production" stage for a while and today they sent me an email saying the delivery date was changed to February 23rd. It was initially supposed to be shipped by February 16th.

So I'm wondering if "In Production" means they have actually started building the computer, or if there is a chance they are still processing payment information. Is there any chance they haven't confirmed the payment at this point, I would consider canceling the order.

Secondly, when Dell gives you a delayed ETA, how often do they delay the system from arriving further? I'm worried that a week and a half from now I will get another email saying I won't be getting my system until March.

Dell :: Studio 15 Surface Area To Soft?

Mar 7, 2009

I went to Best Buy to look at a Studio 15 model. I noticed the surface around the mousepad where you rest your wrists....

It was warm and it felt really soft...almost a bit sticky soft. Is that because of the clear finish?

I'd rather have a smooth surface than a soft one that feels like the smushy like varnish hasn't completely dry. Could this have been an anomily or would my model be like this if I bought one?

Dell :: Studio 1555 Touchpad Area Over Getting Too Hot

Apr 25, 2009

I bought DELL Studio 1555 last month.

I immediately noticed after working sometimes the touchpad area,specially the right hand top corner becomes alarmingly hot and I feel burning sensation on my finger tips.

It is the area where WLAN.WPAN,WI-LAN are present.There is also an Intel chipset,perhaps IO controller.

I immediately called DELL technical support and they sent me the DELL engineer.After monitoring the system for sometimes he decided to replace the motherboard,heat sink,fan assembly and thermal pad.

After replacement I am finding the scenario haven't changed and this time along with touchpad the mid area of keyboard is also getting warm.
